...troubles continued to struggle for his movie. Seeing no alternatives, he says, "I live my life and I end my life with this project." Throughout the four years spent on the film, a continuous series of problems plagued Herzog's efforts. Once he and his crew were forced to flee camp for their lives; later original actors Jason Robards and Mick Jagger pulled out, the former because of ill health, the latter for other commitments. Herzog had to start from scratch with a new lead, Klaus Kinski, while writing out Jagger's obviously irreplaceable part...

...challenge to his rule by P.L.O. guerrillas, who had created a state within a state in Jordan, much as they later were to do in Lebanon. At least 2,000 guerrillas were killed, and thousands of civilians died or were made homeless. Some 20,000 Palestinians were forced to flee to Lebanon, where their attacks against Israel eventually led to last June's invasion by Israeli forces and the long crisis of summer...
